similar object. Briefly pressing the reset button will force the camera to stop whatever it

Instruction Manual for the #16 Camera Description Currently there are two #16 models available. Keychain: The Shutter button is the small button all the way to the front.

The button located at 3 o'clock is used to set the time of the watch. It does not set the time of the camera! Pull out the button to set the time and press it in completely once the time has been set properly. The camera lens is located at 6 o'clock and the LED at 12 o'clock. Normal recording is done with 6 o'clock facing upwards but can be rotated 180° by setting the corresponding parameter either by hand or by using the GUI / App. A new, fully charged battery will last about 60 minutes.

Before you start Before using the camera for the first time, ensure that it is fully charged. See below under "Charging". LED status indicators Since the camera has many functions, it's important to understand the meaning of the LEDs. The following LED states are for a camera not connected to the PC. Yellow LED remains on: • Camera is in Video recording standby mode. Yellow LED slowly flashes 15 times and then the camera turns off: • The memory card is full or not inserted.

Formatting Standard formatting tools provided by the operating system are not always reliable. Also, they do not optimize the SD card's performance. For optimal card performance it is recommended to always use the camera's built-in formatter. Instructions for InCamera Formatting are outlined below under "In-Camera Formatting". Another excellent formatting utility is "SD Formatter" which can be downloaded from www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/.

Recording Video (from Video standby mode, Yellow LED is on) Start video recording. • Briefly press the shutter button. The yellow LED will flash 3 times to indicate that recording has started. If the camera has been configured to show the recording indicator while recording, the yellow LED will slowly flash at 2 second intervals, otherwise the yellow LED will be off. Stop video recording. • Briefly press the shutter button. The yellow LED flashes twice.

In-Camera Formatting The Camera contains a built-in formatter which may be used to format the SD card. Do not format SDXC cards (cards with a capacity of 64GB and more) see below "Breaking the Rules". In-Camera formatting is best done using Nr16Setup.exe (see below) but can also be done as follows: • Connect the Camera as a Removable disk (see above). • Press and hold down the Shutter button. DO NOT RELEASE the button. • Disconnect the camera from the computer.

Bootloader Update The bootloader is responsible for correctly loading and updating the firmware. Bootloader V3 and above makes it a little easier to update the firmware, but there are no other advantages. Installing the bootloader requires the exact same procedure as installing the firmware, which is described below. The bootloader is installed within a second or two as opposed to up to 12 seconds required to install the firmware. Firmware Update Normally, there is no need to update the firmware.

• • • Delete the firmware file. Remove the card from the card reader and insert it into the camera.

Breaking the Rules As stated in the introductory, this camera only supports micro SD and micro SDHC Memory cards. These cards are formatted in FAT32, which is the format the camera requires. Microsoft has imposed an artificial limit on the maximum capacity of the FAT32 file system of 32GB even though, theoretically, a limit of 2 Terabytes is possible. Large capacity micro SDXC (XC=Extended Capacity) cards start with a capacity of 64GB.

Trouble shooting Q. The camera is not recognized as a removable disk or as a Webcam. A. The operating system must be XP or greater. The camera must be connected using a standard USB cable. Confirm that the cable is not defective by attaching another USB device using the same cable. Do not use a USB hub. Try using another USB port. Defective cables are the most common problems when the camera is not correctly recognized by the PC. Q. The yellow LED flashes once per second 15 times and then turns off. A.

Q. Playback is erratic or stutters or the playback colors are psychedelic or the video flashes, has corrupted blocks etc. A. Always first copy the video file from the memory card to your hard drive. • Your PC or graphics card may not be powerful enough to playback the video stream. • You may not have enough memory installed in your PC. • Use VLC Media Player. Window Media Player often chokes on underpowered machines. • Psychedelic colors may also indicate problems with the CMOS lens module.
